New show home and sales office at The Paddocks
Solar panel success
Homes’ latest site The Paddocks in Blunsdon, north of Swindon, now has a show home and sales office to help to continue the impressive sales already experienced at this desirable development.
Some sunny news to brighten up the colder weather; the solar panels installed at our County Park, Swindon office in 2014 have so far generated 277,622 kWh of electricity. It is estimated that 160,000kg of CO2 has been saved since their installation. The electricity generated has been used to power the offices and sold to the national grid saving an estimated £34,000 in energy bills and earning £36,000 in revenue. The total financial benefit is over £70,000.
The new show home is a four bedroom property dressed with contemporary interior design, and a landscaped garden, to reflect a modern, spacious family home.
They have been a great financial and environmental success for the business!
Nick King, Group Director - Homes, said: “Very pleasingly buyers have recognised that The Paddocks provides beautiful homes, with high quality fittings and features in each room and especially in the kitchens, bathrooms and en-suites." The houses in the second phase are all reserved and plots in the third phase will be available to purchase soon. Nick continued: "The success of our off-plan launch last July which has seen all the plots released in phase one either reserved or exchanged has been followed with the opening of our show home and on-site sales office with a further four plots snapped up in just two days during the release weekend.” The sales office is open by appointment only from Monday to Friday, 10:00 until 17:00.

Support for new solar farm Hills is pleased to support a planning application to build a new solar farm on a former landfill site at Purton. The company who has proposed the building of the solar farm, Spring, has stated that the site’s former use as a landfill provides a valuable opportunity for the production of renewable and clean energy. The 21 hectare site could provide electricity for 6,000 homes along with a saving of 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. The solar farm will connect into the existing electricity network.
